Everyone Will Admire Your Terrace: A Drop of This is Enough for Petunias to Bloom Constantly Until Frost
Every housewife dreams of a terrace that attracts the attention of passers-by.
TL;DR
- April is a key month for petunia care to ensure they bloom throughout the summer.
- Remove dried and yellowed parts of the plant to allow it to breathe and focus energy on growth.
- Water moderately with room-temperature water.
- A solution of one drop of iodine in a liter of water, applied once every two weeks, stimulates growth and resilience.
- Egg water, rich in calcium, strengthens stems and makes them resistant to wind.
- Petunias need adequate light, preferably morning sun, with protection from direct midday sun.
- Regularly check for pests like aphids and use a soap and water solution for treatment.
- Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot; healthy roots are essential for summer blooms.
- Replace only the top layer of soil (3-5 cm) with fresh humus instead of repotting into a larger pot annually, as slightly constrained roots promote better flowering.
- Protect plants from frost by bringing them indoors if cold weather is forecasted.
